A study of six grass and four woody legume species found that long-term ungulate herbivory leads to divergent evolutionary and plastic responses based on plant life form: grasses shifted toward acquisitive leaf traits primarily through plasticity, while woody legumes developed more conservative leaves, longer spines, and smaller leaves through hereditary changes.

The study finds that while most Americans support preparedness regardless of terminology, using "extreme weather" generally yields higher or equal support for personal actions and infrastructure policies compared to "climate change," particularly among conservatives. Conversely, liberals are more likely to support collective preparedness actions when "climate change" is used. The authors conclude that "extreme weather" is a safer term for engaging conservatives, while "climate change" can be beneficial for engaging liberals.

A study of 2,742 conservative respondents found that short radio stories featuring conservative voices can shift perceptions of social norms regarding climate change. Seven of twelve stories significantly increased the belief that Republicans are worried about global warming. Specific narratives, such as those involving a teenager convincing a parent or a conservative leader advocating for free-market solutions, were particularly effective in increasing beliefs that global warming is human-caused and personally harmful.

The report investigates the potential for a Market Stability Reserve (MSR) to address market and regulatory failures in the EU ETS, such as limited banking capacity and regulatory myopia. Through a model comparison exercise involving twelve institutions, the authors assess different MSR designs—including the European Commission's proposal, an 'Early Start' version, and price-based mechanisms—across indicators of efficiency, price credibility, consistency, transformation, and robustness. The findings suggest that an MSR generally improves performance, with an Early Start MSR (2017) offering superior benefits over the 2021 proposal. The report emphasizes that the effectiveness of quantity-based MSRs depends heavily on setting trigger levels that accommodate the hedging needs of market participants, suggesting the use of REMIT Directive data for future adjustments.
